So they are grabbing some upstream vanilla version of apache, building
-it- and benchmarking -it- on ubuntu and f11 and comparing the results.

I don't know much about apache but I bet a default ./configure winds up
with different builds depending on the build environment, which in this
case is probably dictated by whatever the default generic OS intall
contains.

And this is useful how?  Geez.

Me, I'd rather know how -Fedora's- httpd fares against -Ubuntu's- httpd,
but maybe I'm just nuts.
